I've said this before but during my extremely long sessions my very nice tattoo artist said that her policy on Nazi tattoos was that she would only put them on your face
And I know many people with regrettable tattoos who managed to avoid getting anything Nazi-related, it's really not hard
I’m a case study of one, but frankly it’s very easy to get drunk in another country without getting a Nazi tattoo

Something, something national security…
One of Trump's many dipshits left behind sensitive documents about the Anchorage summit on a hotel copy machine -- including: names and numbers of U.S. and Russian state leaders, schedule and room locations.

Yet another major national security breach.

Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons.

It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens.

Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Has delivered a masterwork of a movie (not just a superhero movie) He really captures what I like about Superman and the hope he embodies. Probably going to see the movie again in the next few days.

I'm also eager to see a Mr Terrific movie, so let's get on that.
